My Wife is a Sassy Queen

As planned, Leonardo showed up at the Aprice Group on Monday.

But to Lester’s annoyance, he arrived at noon – close to the lunch break. Yet he was yawning.

Even so, Lester smiled genially at Leonardo and introduced him to everyone important.

Lester arranged things quickly and helped Leonardo settle into the company as planned.

One day, they were out having a lunch meeting with one of their prospective partners when Mariana showed up in the same restaurant with her assistant, Jonathan, Vincent, and the person in charge of the collaboration between Smiths and Jacobsens.

Jonathan scowled on seeing Lester but did not show any reaction.

But Mariana froze on seeing the person sitting beside Lester.

Leonardo saw Mariana and exclaimed, “Mariana Jacobsen!”

He could not hide the smile on his face or the twinkle in his eyes.

He walked up to her and pushed away the assistant who tried to stop him.

Jonathan wanted to stop this stranger. But Mariana kept staring at him with a complicated expression, so he chose to observe.

Leonardo grabbed Mariana’s face and kissed her on the lips.

Everyone, including Mariana, froze at that.

She wanted to push him away, but he held her close and whispered something in her ears.

Mariana pushed Leonardo away, slapped him on the face, and screamed, “What the hell is wrong with you?”

Leonardo rubbed his face and shrugged indifferently, “I promised I would kiss you the next time we meet. It is next time, baby!”

Mariana was speechless, “When did I agree to that?”

Leonardo squinted at her, “But I did promise, no?”

Mariana huffed, “Get away from me!”

Leonardo laughed and pecked a kiss on her cheeks. “Until next time!”

Leonardo left her with the words.

Everyone, including Lester, was embarrassed at his emboldened shamelessness.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as Leonardo sat back at the table, he offered a half-hearted apology.

“Sorry about that,” He said with a smile, “She is a blast from the past.”

The pride in his voice was unmistakable.

The people at the table were speechless.

Lester tried to smoothen things and said offhandedly, “Kids nowadays are truly forward. Back in our times, things were different.”

The others got the hint and turned their focus to the project they were discussing.

Inside the private room, Jonathan squinted at Mariana after everyone was seated.

He did not ask anything and acted nonchalantly out of respect.

He acted as if nothing had happened and continued their discussion.

When the project manager went out to receive a phone call, Jonathan sent Vincent and Mariana’s assistant away.

He directly asked, “Who was that? What did he say to you?”

Mariana chortled. “You curbed your curiosity long enough.”

Jonathan frowned, “Don’t change the topic.”

She only shrugged, “Hmm, it’s not my place to tell. Let’s just say Leonardo is someone complicated. You will understand when the time comes. The end is near now. You should watch the show.”

Jonathan guessed in mind. But he kept mum.

Jonathan could think of a significant person in Liliana’s story who had yet to show up.

He was sure that he was that person. But it was not his story, so he did not pry.

Soon after, the others returned and continued their discussion amidst the meal.
